Not true. This model has a newer Tegra chip and the unit is 25% faster than the older models. True not much else has changed but it is a faster processor. I have both models and I can definitely tell the difference in load times.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The processor has been upgraded and there are additional software upgrades that other sites have confirmed cannot be side-loaded on the older boxes. The remote is infinitely better than the old one, by the way.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The new (2019) Pro version also supports Dolby Vision compatible display at 4K resolutions, one of the first to do so. The Pro version also supports usage as a PLEX media server and has 2 USB ports for storage, or connects to a NAS for media storage. rumbarrel is correct in that the processor upgrade is not that significant, but that’s not an “OMG” issue as Shield has always been the most powerful off-the-shelf Android TV box, far and away. PLEASE NOTE: If you ‘save’ $50 to buy the ‘tube’ instead of the ‘Pro,’ you lose all USB ports (and gain 1 measly microSD slot) and you lose ability to host PLEX server. Definitely worth the Grant.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The AI up scaling of video from 1080p to 4k, has been added to this newer Shield. Reviewers say the feature is great.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It also has an Ai upgrade.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The only difference is that the new model is using an Integral 1 Plus processor which is supposed to be slightly more powerful than the older model processor. Geekbench and Antutu showed it was a bit more powerful by around 10 to 15 percent.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's the EXACT SAME chip! All they did was fix the faulty logic that was preventing it from using the whole processor. Hope that helps....so it's "new" because its finally fixed....but its the same chip.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That’s not true. I have both models. The speed is much better and the color is superior that the older model.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Who cares, it works.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
